Yiannis might be a legend, but honestly that was just bunch of whining and excuses. If you are sick and want to break a record don’t race. Don’t try to blame it on other things. Also, can he speak or is he too good for that? He needs to use a proxy for every written communication.

I ran in the same race as Yiannis, I was running a 6 hrs and he a 48 hrs. The people within the ultracommunity are overall very nice and friendly. But omg he was the rudest runner I’ve ever come across. He yelled at his supportcrew, other runners and the organizers. To be honest Yiannis is a very good runner, and he did win the 48 hrs. I

My comment wasn’t cut off, I pressed enter soon. It wasn’t the Across the years race. That race is on my bucket list though, Yiannis was just rude and made his supportcrew ( which only was one guy) cry, It was great to see one of the ultralegends run.

I posted this over on FB but again “Wow” – Wow the Yiannis link had me reading some of his other notes – read this one – he may be a great runner but he has some problem with “fakers” and a lot of us “fun-runners” here is a quote “Any fun-runner who considers himself/herself fun-runner is appreciated, as they have self-knowledge. But, any fun-runner who considers himself/herself ultra-runner is not just a faker but indicates and uses charlatanism as well in order to show off or to sell their emptiness.”

The notes from Across the Years on the Yiannis FB page are just shocking. I even went to look at the Dunlap blog too with quotes from his manager. Just shocking to read. It actually makes me lose respect for him because of presenting such arrogance.

I wonder what he would have had to say about the ultrarunners out running in freezing snowy conditions this past weekend (or any weekend) who had the guts to do it and not complain.
